Animal Protection Party of Canada: Bill 156 Ag-Gag Regulations Come into Effect in Ontario Animal Protection Party of Canada Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Bill 156, The Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, which was passed last summer in Ontario despite opposition from animal advocates and journalists, undermines undercover investigations and the collection of footage intended to reveal the cruel treatment of animals on farms, transport vehicles, and slaughterhouses, often within what are considered the ‘normal practices of farming’.
New regulations have now come into force across Ontario. They further limit the scope of permissible conduct for those who wish to expose unethical animal practices.
